That three way tag match was awesome. The timing and double team moves were incredible.
I only started getting Axs when JR started. I enjoy presentation. I love how the wrestling and announcing styles make it feel so much more legit. My wife just laughs at the childishness of WWE, but she has watched and been intrigued by NJPW.
I don't know many of the wrestlers or storylines, but I am loving it. It gave me my first taste of Nakamura and I am impressed by Tanahashi. Why aren't Kenny Omega, the Young Bucks, or Kyle O'Reilly in NXT/WWE? I am sure those are stories for other threads.

The Sakuraba vs Shibata match was easily one of my favorite matches of 2015. That's probably my favorite style of wrestling though, and I know some people who weren't too into it.

He was in DSW and driven out of WWE by Bill DeMott. Bucks had a shot years ago but pissed off Booker T. and then became mega stars on the indies. That is behind them and they've been offered deals but right now like working PWG and NJPW so they made a deal with ROH to work those two and ROH. They said in the past they aren't opposed to going when the time is right. Kyle O'Reilly, I think it is mainly age/experience. He's been wrestling for awhile but only at a top level for a few years. He is signed to ROH right now.

Makabe/Ishii and Sakuraba/Shibata back-to-back. Heaven!
I find myself really disliking JR on commentary, especially this week. He really seemed clueless as to what was up with Naito, and that was really something that an explanation was needed for. Plus I start grumping whenever he says "Gracie Killer". It's "Gracie Hunter", for goodness sakes, DO YOUR FREAKING RESEARCH.

i like this show a lot, but i think they could be helped a whole bunch by having a 30 second intro/outro that explains where the show is taking place and stuff instead of just showing the graphic really quick then acting like its all happening live. its just a skosh confusing to me. but other than that it might be the best wrestling show on tv.

Getting back into the show, with several episodes on DVR.
That Makabe vs Ishii match was quite a fun way to jump back in.
